Now we get to the fun stuff, The Outer Worlds weapons. There's a lengthy amount of nurturing, buffing, and tinkering that you'll have to give your weapons in The Outer Worlds. Picking up a gun you love won't cut it, so we've broken down everything you need to know about weapons in The Outer Worlds.
There are six different types of weapons in The Outer Worlds including 1-handed melee, 2-handed melee, handguns, long guns, heavy weapons, and science weapons. Guns such as assault rifles, grenade launchers, and shotguns all fit into one of these six categories and require a type of ammo to function from light, heavy, and energy - with melee weapons needing no ammo at all.
All of The Outer Worlds weapons have a durability meter and can be repaired using weapon parts at a workbench. Your gun will never break completely, but a lower durability will affect the performance of your weapon, meaning it will deal less damage. You can also use a workbench to adapt your weapon in The Outer Worlds, adding mods to change its stats. Here's everything you need to know about weapon types, special effects, and the science weapons you'll find in The Outer Worlds.
